- “ The only problem with this Hostel is that it's located next to a train station. Every morning at 6am I woke up because of the trains. Otherwise, the Hostel is very nice, the staff is helpful and friendly. It's located at a 5 minutes walk from the Big Ben and 1 block from the Underground subway. ”

- “ The hostel was great, a bit nervous about staying in such big dorms but everyone was very friendly and welcoming, it makes you feel quite comfortable. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. The fact that we are able to print out boarding passes and such was also very helpful especially if you are on a long trip. ”

- “ This hostel was one of the best, if not the best I've ever been in. The staff is amazing, there's so much hospitality in there. The facilities are excellent, the hostel's pub is great and you can have lunch/dinner there, breakfast is great too. The hostel must has the best location possible, next to the westminster bridge and a lot of points of interest. When I was deciding hostels, i read reviews about the noise from the train station, I heard nothing! Lastly, there's wifi in every room! ”

- “ Excellent location, bus to trafalgar/picadilly circus stops outside, metro closeby, can walk to westminster/london eye. Rooms were OK, slight shortage of toilets on each floor but plenty of showers. Kitchen free to use, lockers in each room, bar downstairs, free breakfast in morning - cereals/juice/toast. Close to waterloo train station, and beside a rail bridge, but I managed to sleep well each night and was not woken by trains at all Would stay here again if return to London! ”

- “ The location is fantastic. Walking distance to the London Eye etc... Staff were very friendly and helpful. I'm a bit of a neat freak and I found the facilities to be very clean. The hostel IS near Waterloo train station (I could probably have opened the window and spit onto the tracks), but the noise didn't keep me awake at night. In my opinion, if you have trouble falling asleep, you simply didn't see enough sights during the day and/or spend enough time in the pub :-) ”

- “ The most helpful staff ever! I'm so grateful to them. They help in everything - to carry the suit case, to book a taxi, to find shortest way to anywhere, to chose best way to go etc etc. Location is perfect! weak point is that it's a bit cold at night (no central heating) and it's hard to get a hair-dryer in the morning. Работники хостела - выше всяких похвал, хостел практически напротив вестминстера на южном берегу. Старое здание, как и вс е в англии - плохо отапливается. Бесплатный завтрак :) ”

- “ The hostel is really incredible. All very neat and clean, the staff are very attentive and helpful. They know everything that happens in London and provide valuable information for travelers. With an active bar and many activities the Walrus Hostel is the right place for those who want a pleasant and exciting stay in London. When I return to London my hostel will be the Walrus Hostel. Thanks for the experience Alex, Sylvia and Michael. ”
